Real Artist

by Dessy Tsvetkova / August 14th, 2022

An empty hall
no audience.
But the actor
is giving performance.
He made plenty
rehearsals
and he is prepared.
But the people
are somewhere
outside
watching their phones.

He plays,
like he is the last artist on Earth.

This is what he can do.

Until the last theatre exists.
